Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a shower device having a massaging function, and more specifically, a swirl device is installed in the shower device so that showering and massaging can be performed in parallel, and a central through hole is provided outside. A separate outside air inflow pipe that is in communication is installed, and the water discharged when the shower is used is rotated at a high speed and discharged to form a vortex, and the discharged water contains oxygen or other water. The present invention relates to a substance which artificially contains fine particles so that the effect of promoting health by showering and massage can be expected.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, most of the showers used so far have been such that the supplied water is simply sprayed through a shower head.

[0003]

However, with the recent development of the bathing culture, the shower is not limited to a tool for sprinkling water according to various needs of consumers.
In reality, it is necessary to be able to massage with the shower, but the showers up to now can only be expected to function as simple showers, and there was a problem that the above requirements could not be satisfied. .

Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of various problems of the conventional shower device as described above.
By making the water of a certain pressure flowing into the shower main body discharge at high speed through the ejector while forming a swirling flow, and by supplying oxygen or other fine particle substances from the outside to the center of the ejector artificially. An object of the present invention is to provide a shower device having a massage function, which can be expected to have an effect of promoting health by massage and massage the skin together with the shower.

[0005]

To achieve the above object, a shower according to the present invention is provided with a through hole formed in the center of the handle having a water flow passage formed therein and a large number of holes formed on the inner peripheral surface thereof. There is installed a main body in which a vortexer with spiral grooves is installed inside and an ejector is installed on the outlet side, and an outside air supply pipe communicating with the outside is installed in the water flow passage at the center of the vortexer. It is installed so as to be connected to the hole.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION A shower device according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. A shower device having a massage function according to the present invention has a vortex flow in which a through hole 2a is formed in the center and a large number of spiral grooves 2b are formed on the inner peripheral surface at the tip of a handle 1 in which a water flow passage 1a is formed. A main body 4 in which the vessel 2 is installed and an ejector 3 is installed on the outlet side is installed, and an outside air supply pipe 5 communicating with the outside is installed in the water flow passage 1a. It is installed so as to be connected to.

In the drawings, an unexplained reference numeral 6 is a connecting pipe connected to a rear end of the handle 1 for supplying water, and 7 is an adjusting pipe for adjusting an inflow amount of outside air into the outside air supply pipe 5. Corks and 8 formed on one side of the connecting pipe 6 respectively represent ejection holes formed in the ejector.

In the above structure, the water flow passage 1 of the handle 1
The outside air supply pipe 5 installed in a is installed so that its rear end is connected to a cork 7 formed on one side of a connection pipe 6 connected to the rear end of the handle 1 so as to supply water. Adjust the locking degree of the cork 7 to
Outside air such as oxygen can be supplied to the central through hole 2a.

The operation state and operation of the shower device having the massage function according to the present invention thus constructed will be described. First, when the valve is opened, the water having a predetermined pressure that flows into the handle 1 through the connecting pipe 6 rotates while passing through a large number of spiral grooves 2b formed on the outer circumference of the swirler 2. At this time, water is discharged through the ejection holes 8 of the ejector 3 while rotating along the surface of the drain port at the center of the main body 4 due to the centrifugal force generated by the rotation, and the water is discharged into the central space inside the main body 4. Vacuum pressure is generated by the rotation speed of the water that rotates at high speed and is discharged.

As described above, the amount of water discharged to the outside through the ejector 3 while rotating along the surface of the drain hole at the center of the main body 4 is a part of the total amount of the water that has passed through the main body 4. The remaining water will collect at the central portion along the inner surface of the ejector 3. Therefore, the water gathered at the center of the ejector is reintroduced to the drain port of the main body 4 again due to the vacuum pressure, and the water which is infused back is discharged through the spiral groove 2b of the swirler 2 installed in the center of the main body 4. It is discharged again together with water. The water that is reversely flowed in due to the vacuum pressure reduces the centrifugal force of the water that is discharged through the swirl device 2, and the water whose centrifugal force is reduced does not flow along the wall surface of the drain port of the main body 4 and is reversely flowed in. While being mixed with water, it forms a vortex and is discharged through the central part of the ejector 3.

When the vortex thus formed is discharged through the central portion of the ejector 3, the water discharged from the vortexer 2 through the ejection port recovers the centrifugal force again, and the center of the ejector 3 is recovered. The discharge through the section is stopped. This is because the vortex flow is discharged to the central portion of the ejector 3, so that there is no further inflow of water that impedes the centrifugal force. The recovery of the centrifugal force causes the vacuum pressure to be re-formed at the center of the centrifugal force, and the vortex flow is discharged. In this way, the ejector 3
The discharge and interruption of the vortex flow to the central part of the above occur repeatedly, and the water is continuously discharged to the surrounding ejection holes 8.

As a result, the user of the shower device can easily select and use the shower device or the water massage device only by adjusting the distance of the handle 1 to the skin of the present invention. That is, as shown in FIG. 5B, when the ejector 3 is brought closer within a distance where the eddy current and the vacuum pressure affect the skin,
Can be used as an agitator by the generated vortex and vacuum pressure,
As shown in FIG. 5A, when used at a distance that is not affected by the vortex flow and the vacuum pressure, it can be used as a shower device that simply jets water through the jet port 8 of the jet device 3.

When the ejector 3 installed at the tip of the handle 1 is brought close to the skin of the body in this way, the surface of the skin is pressurized by the strong water flow ejected through the numerous ejection openings 8 formed in the ejector 3. At the same time, various massages are performed on the skin by the vortex flow and the vacuum pressure generated by the ejector 3 and the vibration caused by the vortex flow and the vacuum pressure.

At the center of the swirl device 2, an outside air supply pipe 5 is installed in the water flow passage 1a, the amount of the outside air flowing into the swirler device 2 is adjusted by a cork. It is possible to expect even a skin cosmetic effect by containing oxygen or other fine particles in the body. When the material of the vortex generator 2 is a magnet or a ceramic material, the generated magnetic field or far infrared rays together with water causes body skin. A therapeutic effect by acting on the can be expected.

[0015]

As can be seen from the above description, according to the shower device having an abrading function of the present invention, a swirler capable of supplying the outside air is installed at the center of the flow path, and centrifugal force is applied to water to flow the swirl device. By giving a skin massage effect by instantaneously accelerating the speed, it provides a useful effect such as acting as a high performance massager together with a simple shower.
